HEAD SHAPE NARROW-MID-WIDE

TECH: Both Rogue and Rogue X are the first hybrids to feature jailbreak tech, and Callaway says to maximise its impact in a smaller head it’s increased the face depth. It means every shot gets the full force of the clubface rebounding energy back to the golf ball.

WE SAY: Like the Rogue drivers, fairways and irons, the hybrids are really powerful so it was no surprise that Rogue produced all three testers’ fastest hybrid ball speeds. But the difference between the other Rogue products we’ve tested is how no tester really wanted to put a Rogue hybrid in their own bag for 2018. Looks are completely subjective, of course, but none of our testers quite fell for the wide-body looks, on paper, they absolutely perform. It’s just that the heads are big, wide and not quite as sleek as the other options.

TOP GEAR VERDICT

The Rogue hybrids are among the very best performers within our test. But because they cost a pretty penny, aren’t adjustable, you’re going to need to love them. Looks are subjective, so if you can turn a blind eye to the wide body they’ll help you hit it high and long.
